▪ Egyptian Coil Class ▪

Originally found in the royal tombs of ancient Egypt and dating back some 3,000 years, the timeless Egyptian Coil is still popular in today's jewelry.

In this fun half day workshop we will uncover the secret of making this complicated looking yet amazingly simple link with which you will then create a beautiful bracelet in pure copper.

After creating your bracelet, you'll also learn the basic technique of adding a patina to give depth and richness to your finished design.

Skill Level

All skill levels are welcome.

Tools

Important: There is no need for you to go out and purchase any tools. All tools necessary for completing the project will be available at the workshop. However, some training venues have a smaller tool inventory than others, which may mean sharing.

For that reason, I recommend you bring your own small hand tools (i.e. pliers, cutters, favorite hammer, metal shears, etc.) if you have them. (Note: I usually have quality tools available for purchase at the workshop.) Contact me if you have any questions.

The following is a list of tools that we'll be using during the workshop.

Round nose pliers
Flat nose pliers
Chain nose pliers
Flush or semi-flush cutters that will cut up to 12 gauge wire
Ball peen or chasing hammer
Mandrels of different sizes (knitting needles and round writing pens work well for this)
Needle files
6 inch ruler
Soft tape measure
Steel bench block
Sharpie® or other indelible pen
Hand towel
Polishing cloth
#000 Fine steel wool

Fees

Each training venue sets its own workshop fees. You'll find contact information for each venue on my Class Schedule page.

In addition to the workshop fee, a separate materials fee will be paid at the workshop to cover all materials needed to complete the project. The materials fee includes a full-color step-by-step written tutorial.
